Regulations and actions for global artificial intelligence in 2023
Haebom
As artificial intelligence (AI) technology rapidly develops, many countries are taking various approaches to manage the risks of AI. In the process, the need for AI regulation has emerged, but there is a gap between the speed of technological development and policy establishment. The Korean government has not yet taken an official position. I wish they would quickly follow this topic... It's a shame.
To be exact, it is pending in the National Assembly. There were some announced in 2020 and 2021, but the guides and laws are completely out of touch with current technology, so they are practically dead laws. And although about 10 new laws have been introduced since the beginning of this year... they are not being properly discussed in the National Assembly.
Country/Region
Countermeasures and Position
European Union (EU)
125-page draft AI bill released, focusing on “high-risk” AI uses.

United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Government funding for AI research.
France, Germany, Italy
Opposition to strict regulation of general-purpose AI models.
European Union (EU) AI legislation:
The EU published a 125-page draft law on AI in 2021, which was seen as a best practice for dealing with AI globally.
The bill focuses on “high-risk” uses of AI, requiring specific requirements for its use in law enforcement, school admissions, hiring and more.
However, the bill's effectiveness has been questioned as it does not sufficiently address cutting-edge AI models such as ChatGPT.
There are now attempts to promulgate new legislation to supplement existing laws, but opinions are divided among member states.
Economic competition and geopolitical distrust have led countries to set their own regulations, creating a lack of international cooperation.
There are also differences of opinion between Europe and the United States on AI regulation, making international efforts difficult.
The situation is that each country is discussing it separately without any international discussion.
Mismatch between technology and policy:
AI technology is evolving rapidly, but laws and policies are not keeping up with these technological changes. This hinders international and domestic efforts to address the potential harms of AI. (South Korea has always been one of them.)
Many countries are trying different approaches to address the risks of AI, but policies and regulations are lagging behind the pace of technological advancement.
Personally, I think that the way we form and regulate markets is beneficial in many ways, but those who enforce or make laws seem to think differently.
